Recently, Apple confirmed that there will be a new MagSafe Battery Pack.

Now, counterfeiters are taking advantage of this development by launching their fake MagSafe Battery Packs.

BEWARE: Fake MagSafe Battery Packs Spotted on X Platform

Counterfeited MagSafe Battery Packs were spotted on the X platform (recently called Twitter). Based on the images, these fake versions have USB-C charging ports.

According to MacRumors' latest report, fraudsters are preparing fake MagSafe Battery Packs just to mirror the real version, which Apple is expected to launch soon.

The counterfeited iPhone accessories were shared by X users fix Apple (lipilipsi) and Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial).

"All new Apple accessories will have to follow USB C standards, this means that even older models will be updated," said Majin Bu.

"Here is a USB C model of the MagSafe Battery," added the X user.

Majin Bu's X post generated thousands of likes and hundreds of reposts. However, some X users already knew that the MagSafe Battery Packs in the photos were fake.

One of them even explained that the EU law that requires gadget makers to transition to USB-C doesn't include accessories.

Another one asked if the MagSafe Battery Packs on the photos are fake ones. Majin Bu explained that he didn't know, saying that they could just be replicas imitating the old MagSafe Battery Pack version.

How to Spot Fake MagSafe Battery Packs? 

Spotting the new fake MagSafe Battery Packs is pretty easy. All you need to do is to check if they have USB-C charging ports. 

If they do, then they're definitely counterfeits. Phone Arena reported that Apple plans to transition all its products, including gadget accessories, to USB-C ports.

Mark Gurman, a reliable Apple enthusiast, said that the giant electronics company is preparing to release a new version of the MagSafe Duo. He added that this new battery pack will have a USB-C port. 

Gurman also claims that the new MagSafe Battery Pack could be stackable. This means that iPhone users will be able to place multiple packs together and charge numerous gadgets at the same time.

As of writing, it is still unclear if Apple will introduce the new MagSafe Battery Pack on its upcoming Wonderlust event, which is scheduled on Tuesday, Sept. 12. 

Apple also hasn't confirmed the exact launch date of the next-gen battery pack version.

But, experts said that since counterfeiters are already preparing their replicas, there's a chance that the tech giant firm will be releasing the new MagSafe Battery Pack into the market soon.

For now, the best thing you can do is avoid purchasing MagSafe Battery Packs with USB-C chargers. Instead, you must wait for Apple's official announcement and ensure you will buy the new iPhone accessory via the official Apple online store.
